LOL, yeah, kinda. I am using my student loan for that stuff, but think about it. Im going to school to be an auto technician, and getting a car to put an engine in is teaching me right.... LOL so it can be wrote off as an educational expense right..... :wink: LOL all my grants and stuff is paying for tuition and books too, so i got a student loan with hardly any interest just kinda sitting around,,,,,,tell me YOU would'nt spend it..... thats what i thought... LOL

so you found a 3.1 turbo as in one from a grand prix? your gonna need that prom thing or what ever teh acornym is i think that right though for the computer. a custom exhaust and i think you have to relocate the turbo but maybe im just crazy, theres a few other things which i can think of right now, too early

while you have the engine out relocate the coil packs like turbo z they are a bitch!!!!!!!!!!

i also spent my school loans on second car new rims and tires well everything but school

well then he should change the top end to match or just relocate the coils somewhere cuz behind the engine just sucks ass
